Isaiah 65:14-16
New English Translation

14 Look, my servants will shout for joy as happiness fills their hearts.[a]
But you will cry out as sorrow fills your hearts;[b]
you will wail because your spirits will be crushed.[c]
15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones.[d]
The Sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
16 Whoever pronounces a blessing in the earth[e]
will do so in the name of the faithful God;[f]
whoever makes an oath in the earth
will do so in the name of the faithful God.[g]
For past problems will be forgotten;
I will no longer think about them.[h]
